As we round the corner on this week the finish line is starting to come into sight! Ending the week on Day 68 from seed and these girls are really starting to shine! Front left is just a crystal packed beast with golf ball sized buds (or bigger) well spaced out along the stem, more like blueberry tends to grow. Front right is showing very similar traits, while back left and right are larger more connected buds, more like Slimer tends to grow. Cool to see the two different bud structures in the same grow, fun thing with autos you know they will be close but always some differences! Buds are just plumping and firming, getting ready for their big day on another few weeks. Water intake has slowed as expected for this stage in life, 32L every four days instead of every three. Was an easy week work wise, just a light defoliation of mainly the back two plants, probably 20 or so leaves each. Back two are still seeming to be maybe a week behind front two, but they seem to be catching up fast. May have to get the second reservoir set up at the end of need to ween first two off the feed earlier than last two. Good thing is I have three full sets of AutoPots so not a problem, although I may have a problem with collecting grow gear hahaha. Can't help myself, I see stuff selling for super cheap used or clearance from stores closing and think "sure I could use another set of those". Got my last set of 15L pots in upgrade packs on clearance. Each pack came with the pot, the tray, and the 5.0 valve with all the fixings for just !!! Honestly how do you say no to that I don't know. Lights 90% @ 16" @ 750-800umol/s Water 32L every four days UV lights one hour per day mid cycle 6" Exhaust 30% 4" Intake 50% 6" oscillating fan x2 50%

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Welcome growfessors to another episode of growfessor theatre! Week 2 begins in the 4x4 tent for these 4 ladies. The grow medium is still damp and heavy, so no feed yet this week. I will wait a few more days before feeding. Ladies look happy and healthy under the Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next week for another episode 👽🌳💚

Flower - Week 4 (Days 22-28) Day 22 (Jan 22) I did a reservoir change at 00:30. Fresh numbers: pH 5.81, EC 1588. It felt like a clean reset after all the EC creep and the general “why are the numbers doing this?” vibe. Plant looked strong. No drama in the canopy. Buds forming, everything looked like it was on track. I was honestly feeling pretty good about it. Day 23 (Jan 23) At 01:15 I topped off with about 2½ L pH’d water and landed at EC 1566, pH 5.79. Same session: I did a lot of work - heavy LST in the trellis, supercropped one branch, and pulled a few big fan leaves to open light to lower bud sites. The plant took it like it was nothing. That’s been the story: I mess with her, she just keeps growing and throwing bud sites. Great… but it also means I’m still running out of vertical space. Day 24 (Jan 24) At 01:00 I measured EC 1668, pH 6.0 and did massive LST work again. Also took a picture of the root ball and it looked amazing - clean white, crisp, and huge. That was a relief, because when the canopy is getting dense and the tent is getting tight, it’s nice to know the foundation is bulletproof. I also had to move the oscillating fan because there’s basically no room above canopy anymore. I ended up hanging it upside down under the canopy (not ideal), and I even saw a tiny bit of condensation forming between leaves higher up. That made my stomach drop a bit, because I can’t really “create more air” out of thin air in a packed tent. Day 25 (Jan 25) Around 01:00 I got an EC reading 2000+ that didn’t make sense to me. Plant still looked fine, so I didn’t want to panic-correct based on a single number. But mentally it was annoying: I can handle a plant problem, but I hate “do I even trust the data?” problems. I was still doing LST, but I stopped supercropping because I don’t want to stack stress and end up stunting her - especially with my harvest timeline in the back of my head. It finally seems to have ended the stretch. Good! Day 26 (Jan 26) At lights on (around 00:15) I finally saw it: discoloration on upper fan leaves (right side). It reminded me of the early grow issues. My working theory was that I’d been pouring concentrated low-pH top-off water on the same side, basically creating a micro-zone and stressing one part of the root system. Later I also had that “oh fuck” moment where I noticed the airline to the air stone had disconnected - no idea how long, but likely when I stirred. Luckily roots still looked fine and the plant didn’t look like it had crashed, so I think I dodged a real disaster there. Still… not the kind of surprise you want in DWC. Day 27 (Jan 27) At lights on (00:30) it was a total mess. The upper canopy looked wrecked fast - most top leaves damaged, necrotic spotting, and the tent smelled like wet hay. That’s the kind of smell that instantly makes your brain go to worst-case scenarios. I drained the reservoir and the numbers were completely wack: EC ~3000, pH 6.8. That explained everything. I did a full res change immediately and replaced it with a sane mix: EC 1622, pH 5.63. And honestly, I don’t know if this happened because I switched to a new brand of pH down and screwed up somewhere, or if it’s just the combination of high uptake + my top-off method + small res volume catching up with me. But the timing feels… suspicious. Day 28 (Jan 28) At lights on (around 00:15) the damage hadn’t spread further. The canopy still looks ugly - lots of necrotic patches on leaves - but the plant itself doesn’t look like it’s dying. Buds look largely unaffected, which is a huge relief. I removed the worst leaves, but I’m trying not to go crazy stripping her. The vibe right now is: she took a hard hit, I corrected it as fast as I could, and now the only smart move is stability. No more hero moves. Just let her recover and keep building flowers.

The Bruce Banner girls had a strong week! 💪 #1 is still the biggest plant in the tent and looks super happy. She handled the LST perfectly and keeps stretching nicely 🔥. #2 is catching up and growing more balanced now. #3 has finally found her rhythm and started growing normally 🙌. Both #2 and #3 are now showing their first pistils, so they’ve officially entered the flowering stage 🌸. This week all three received a watering with Green House Bio Enhancer, and aside from that, just RO water + CalMag (Advanced Nutrients) 💧. No issues or signs of deficiency, leaves are lush green and healthy across the board 🌿. They’re growing in the 90×90 tent with the AC Infinity AI setup and Spider Farmer SE5000, keeping everything dialed in: 25–26 °C, 60 % RH, and around 500–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD 🌡️. Overall, #1 remains the queen of the tent 👑, while #2 and #3 are catching up as they ease into early flower. Excited to see them start stacking buds soon! ✨

We finally made it ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor to introduce you to the beautiful Lady Wedding Cake and the beautiful Cookies Kush twins. Even though I'm pretty sure cookies kush #1 would have needed another week, she had to go under the knife,too. The ladies finished just in time for the super bowl 🏈. We need the space in the tent asap because of the Eternity Grow Cup. Next Stop Zami Runtz and Blue Gelato 41

So the flower is a stunning colour and a lovely thick and dense flower , the smell and taste is fantastic , And the high is mild but a real nice euphoric head high and vapes a lovely gassy yet flavourful vape , I really am a fan of the balckberry kush gene , not only is it a joy too watch growing , but the end results are amazing too look at , hold , and vape , I think the photos in this diary speak for them selfs without all the fancy words , I highly recommend this strain and this seed bank as Dutch passion never fail too impress , A massive thank you too green buzz nutrients for all there help support and nutrients and Dutch passion for these free seeds too , I sometimes have too pinch my self that I am blessed with the support and help with free nutrients , seeds , and lights from kingbo , I just hope that I show all these amazing products off how they should be , Some of us are disabled ether physically or mentally and cannot compete with some of the growers on here diariys with the 500 word essays and big fancy words , But this for me is not a business , I do not make thousands of pounds too buy fancy lights or A/C units ect , Growing cannabis is a jail term for me if caught and with no financial gain at all , I turn absolutely everything into oils and tinctures And make my own medicine too treat autism and let me tell you it has given me a new lease of life , I have worked out that a single grow is costing me £500 in electric alone for a 3 month grow , and if I was not blessed with the help of green buzz nutrients and Dutch passion it would be much much more , I do not know people who smoke weed or any dealers if it too sell it even if I wanted too , so what I do is purely for medical reasons and the fear of getting caught , the noise of the fans , smell , and the cost is a real struggle some weeks , but it's all worth it when you know you have bottles of fantastic medicine in the freezer that you know will last you a very long time , Is a fantastic feeling , I really pray the day legalisation is soon for us, But for now I am so very thankful too grow diariys for this fantastic platform and all the sponcers for all there help ,

Hey hey everybody! I hope you all had a fantastic week and I am excited to be back for our latest update which marks the end of week 15 and the beginning of week 16! Now I don’t know if it’s just me or the beginning of the year can be explained off as Mercury being in retrograde (I’m not saying it is, that’s more my wife’s deal- I wouldn’t know either way) but things have been absolutely nuts over here and I needed a little something good to help level out the crazy… I have some awesome things in the mail (still rolling in from the spending spree I went on) but truth be told we were between deliveries, and I needed instant gratification- soo I may have accidentally brushed up against the timer and flipped to flower ( and by accidentally brushed up against, of course I mean I fully intentionally programmed the time to flip to flower in a moment of weakness…🤷‍♂️🏻) Am I sorry? No… will it slightly kill me from an aspect of my struggle with occasional OCD? Oh yes…. Ohhhh yesssss…. That little corner is/was driving me nuts but I figured it was time to just let it do it’s thing- honestly once I noticed I picked a pot that was too small for what I was trying to do, I should have just there in the towel, flipped and taken it as a learning lesson for next time…. Buuuuut alas, I am stubborn and that is NOT how that went down… I’m still excited for what’s to come, we should have some (hopefully) pretty impressive things developing soon so I am stoked! That being said however, I have also had some unimpressive things happen, for instance- yesterday, I go in to feed the girls and my light is off! I (obviously) must have screwed something up when I went to change the light schedule- specifically, due to the fact that there are 9 or 10 possible lighting schedules you can set, I think I had correctly set the on/off times BUUUUUT I think after I had switched to the next programmed on/off times which were incorrect- I noticed when I saw that the lights were off, they should have been on for another three hours (give or take) - so I immediately started messing with the timer and turned the lights back on and continued to tend to those lovely ladies. I then went and made dinner- after, I just had this feeling that I should check on the tent, just in case- and sure enough, an hour after the lights were supposed to be turned off, there they were, on like grey poupon (I apologize I haven’t heard that in like a decade or more, had to

the end of my first crop is approaching, I am getting impatient the work has become easier: water and watch for fungi or pests. the cold snap in europe makes it easier for me to manage the temperature and humidity. :)
